When it comes to postop instructions it is best to follow instructions from your surgeon as he or she has the most info about your surgery. Good luck.
I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon

It is important to follow all of his or her instructions.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California

I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. ...
Thank you for your question and photographs. If your health is good and you have no history of blood clots or pulmonary embolism you should consider a mommy makeover combining a full breast lift, breast implants and a tummy tuck in one anesthesia. Some patients elect to separate the two to s...
